Default A little advice
First off let me apologize if this has been talked about before. I am still trying to go through all these posts for great advice.

I am looking to doing a huge mailing to my local chamber of commerce to introduce my business. I would include:

Brochure
Business Card
Intro letter

What is your take on that? Also where are good spots to get yout name out there without spending alot of money? I know the chamber has events once a month like mixers but would like to go outside the box I guess.

Thanks
Karrie

Karrie,

Welcome and go for it. If you're a chamber member, take advantage of every opportunity they offer to network. Remember to show a real, sincere interest in others first. Then they'll ask about your business.

Have a website, write a blog, use LinkedIn; all these things can contribute to getting your name out there without spending much money.

I'd love to hear how the chamber mailing goes.

Sue

LinkedIn is an online "business networking tool to find connections to recommended job candidates, industry experts and business partners."

It is most effective by making connections with others and through answering and asking questions.
